Equity City’s Post

We were honored to be invited to an impactful event hosted by Tokio Marine HCC , where our CEO & co-founder, Junior Garba ACII had the opportunity to speak on a panel alongside industry leaders.   The evening began with a thought-provoking keynote by historian David O. , who highlighted the erasure of Black history in Britain and the critical need to challenge systemic colonial thinking, both in and out of the workplace.   Following this, Amali Gammulla ACMA CGMA and Vimbai Chagonda shared their personal experiences within the industry, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities for underrepresented talent. Courtney Lucey and Matthew Tibo then spoke about the strides being made at TMHCC to recruit diverse talent and foster inclusivity. Our CEO, Junior, contributed his insights on the ongoing progress and the work still ahead in advancing diversity across financial services and insurance.   A special thanks to Ashley Rice and Courtney Lucey for organising such an inspiring evening that continues to push forward the conversation on representation and inclusion.   #Equity #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityInInsurance #Inclusion #TMHCC #DavidOlusoga #DiverseTalent #DEI
